AI-Generated Images vs US Psychic Services Industry Revenue
As AI image generations exploded, psychic industry revenue surged. Turns out crystal balls just needed a GPU upgrade. Madame Zelda runs on NVIDIA now.
“Every tarot reading since 2022 was secretly powered by Midjourney. The glow is a render pass.”

Why this correlation is stupid
The numbers above are real. Public data on AI-Generated Images and US Psychic Services Industry Revenue happens to move in lockstep closely enough to produce r ≈ 84% (positive) — a value high enough that, in a less skeptical world, someone would file a Substack post about it. Here, it earns a chart and a chuckle.
Statisticians call this a spurious correlation: two trends that share a shape without sharing a cause. With enough variables tracked over enough years, you can find pairings like this one between almost any two phenomena. Confounding factors, common drivers (population growth, smartphone adoption, the unstoppable march of time), or pure chance can all make graphs hold hands.
Source data is drawn from public datasets. We do not endorse any causal claim — only the comedic one.
